Annals of the Cape Provincial Museums. Volume 9. Part 9. The Exploitation of Shellfish By Coastal Tribesmen of the Transkei.

Cape Provincial Museums, Albany Museum, Grahamstown. Natural History. Volume 9. Part 9. 13th December 1973. Printed wraps, Stapled, p.159-p.175, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. The consumption of shellfish by non-Bantu groups who lived along the south and south-east coast of South Africa has been extensively documented in archaeological literature. Traveller's accounts and early ethnographic descriptions of the Bantu-speaking peoples of present-day Transkei and Ciskei with few exceptions stress the absence of a tradition of fishing, often ascribing it to a prohibition against eating fish. The study fills a gap in the ethnography of the Southern Nguni living in the coastal districts of the Transkei.

While the culture of the trial clusters embraced by the term Cape Nguni is broadly similar and much of the information appearing here can be taken to apply to the whole group, tribal differences will, where possible, be pointed out or cases where a custom is specifically mentioned as being the practice of a particular tribe.

Annals of the Cape Provincial Museums. Volume 13. Part 9. The Distribution and Status of Some Eagles in the Cape Province.

Cape Provincial Museum, Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Natural History. Volume 13. Part 9. 8th October 1980. Stapled wraps, p.107-p131. illustrated, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. A study of the distribution and abundance of some eagles in the Cape Province based upon a postal survey followed by a ground-truth survey. Despite certain disadvantages attached to such a survey, and the vast area covered, it was possible to obtain a valid picture of the distribution of the species involved as well as realistic estimates of their abundance. It was not possible to make statements on an trends that may exist but the survey indicated that of the nine species of eagles that are known to breed in the Cape Province five appear to have viable, albeit small, populations while a sixth species may be declining to extirpation.

Maps showing the past and present (1970s) distribution of 55 taxa of breeding and non-breeding diurnal raptor occuring in the Cape Province, South Africa, are presented. The compilation of these maps is such that any major range fluctuations which have taken place on a temporal basis are indicated. Almost a quarter of the taxa show a decrease, most show no change, and only two indicate an increase. The value of this information for long-term monitoring studies and for conservation purposes is mentioned. The limitations of the survey are discussed.

Annals of the Cape Provincial Museums. Volume 13. Part 2. Note on the Type-Locality, Distribution and Juvenile Coloration of Naja Nigricollis Woodi (Serpentes: Elapidae) and an Account of the Colour-Pattern Variation in Intergrade Populations.

Cape Provincial Museum, Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Natural History. Volume 13. Part 2. 8th May 1979. Stapled wraps, p.31-p.38. illustrated colour plates, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. The western black spitting cobra Naja Nigricollis Woodi occurs in southern Namibia from the vicinity of the Namib Desert Park east of Walvis Bay. southwards through Great & Little Namaqualand to Porterville and east to Prieska on the southern bank of the Orange River. The colouration differs markedly from that of fully grown specimens and this is described here along with an assessment of past distribution records. The change in colour pattern from typical woodi to nigricincta within this region is also discussed.

Heleophryne Regis, which has for some time been regarded as the eastern subspecies of the H. purcelli complex in the Cape Folded Mountain Belt, has a mating call distinct from typical H. purcelli and is therefor reinstated to specific rank. It is geographically isolated from other species in the southern Cape Province. An account of the species past taxonomic history is presented. Certain morphological characters hitherto employed to distinguish H. regis from its cogeners do not withstand critical scrutiny.

A new species of ghost frog, genus Heleophryne, is described. H. hewitti sp. nov. is known only from the Elandsberg Mountains, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. It is geographically isolated from Heleophryne regis and other Heleophryne populations in the southern Cape Province. Diagnostic features include a unique mating call and characteristic dorsal colour-pattern. It is considered to belong to the H. purcelli/regis species complex in the Cape Folded Mountain Belt. Certain morphological features shared by members of this complex are identified and presented.
